1 Click Menu > Administration.

2 Expand Licensing and click Licenses.

3 Select the Licenses tab.

4 Select the license to rename, and click Rename License.

Remove Licenses

To remain in compliance with the licensing models of products that you use with vSphere, you must

remove all unassigned licenses from the inventory. If you have divided, combined, or upgraded licenses in

My VMware, you must remove the old licenses.

For example, suppose that you have upgraded a vSphere license from 6.5 to 6.7 in My VMware. You

assign the license to ESXi 6.7 hosts. After assigning the new vSphere 6.7 licenses, you must remove the

old vSphere 6.5 license from the inventory.
